The iPad 3 rumor mill has heated up this week, fueled by a report from Japanese Apple blog Macotakara that the much anticipated tablet will come out in March.
Earlier reports had pegged the coming of the iPad 3 to late February, to coincide with Steve Jobs’ Feb. 24 birthday.
Now Macotakara is reporting on a "strange" Apple event to take place in February that will be unrelated to the iPad 3, although it could involve a services announcement or something related to iOS 5.1, which has been released to developers in beta form. Translated, the post reads: "I reported that Apple was going to hold Special Event in early February according to Asian supplier and source from united states, but this report told a half-side of truth. Apple will hold ‘Strange’ event at February instead of Special Event. "
The iPad 3 (or iPad 2S?) is expected to be slightly thicker than the iPad 2 in order to accommodate a high-definition "retina" display, plus boast a quad-core A6 processor and support for 4G LTE wireless networking. Battery life is expected to be double that of the iPad 2 as well.
Last year, iPad 2 was introduced in early March and released later in the month.

For GOD's sake Macworld.
If your sources are that unreliable, why bother posting the story in the first place.
I'm seriously tempted to go to Windows Weekly for my future MAC stories.
This is the vaguest crock of c**p i've set my eyes on in years.
Someone told me yesterday that Tuesday will fall on the same day next week as this week....
